Manual Therapy in Split – When Massage Isn't Enough

Split, a city known for its vibrant atmosphere and historical landmarks, can also be a place where stress accumulates. Manual therapy in Split can be an ideal solution to relieve tension and restore balance in your body.

It's often thought that physical therapists only demonstrate exercises or use electrical devices. However, manual therapy is the "queen" of physical therapy. In private practices in Split, this is the primary tool for resolving musculoskeletal problems. It involves specialized techniques (such as Maitland, Kaltenborn, Mulligan, or Cyriax) where the therapist uses only their hands to diagnose and treat movement restrictions, whether they are in the spine, joints of the hands and feet, or in soft tissue.

Most manual therapy services are available in the Bol area. Users have rated the services in this area as highly satisfactory.

What Exactly Does the Therapist Do to Your Joints?

The goal of manual therapy isn't just relaxation, but restoring function. Treatment usually includes:

• Joint mobilization: Gentle, rhythmic, and passive movements that gradually bring the joint to the extreme limit of movement to reduce stiffness and pain.
• Manipulation: A rapid, small-range movement (often accompanied by a "click" or "pop" sound) that instantly releases a blocked joint and reduces pressure.
• Traction: Stretching the joints to reduce pressure on the joint surfaces and discs.
• Soft tissues: Specific treatment of ligaments and tendons to increase their elasticity.

Manual Therapy vs. Massage

Although both use touch, the difference is vast:

• Massage primarily affects muscles and circulation (relaxation).
• Manual therapy affects biomechanics – correcting how your joints and vertebrae move. It requires a high level of education and knowledge of anatomy.

Among the featured manual therapy services in Split, prices range from 40 € to 55 €, depending on the salon and duration.

Who Is It Recommended For?

This therapy is the gold standard for:

1. Back and neck pain: Including disc herniations and "stuck" backs.
2. Headaches: Especially those that are cervicogenic (caused by problems in the cervical spine).
3. Limited movement: After fractures, surgeries, or long periods of wearing a cast.
4. Sports injuries: Tennis elbow, painful shoulder, or ankle sprains.
